No-Contact Order Extended for Sinclair, Dyes Inlets

Two sewer overflows into the Port Washington Narrows since Friday have
prompted an extension of the no-contact advisory issued Jan. 2 for Dyes
Inlet, Port Washington Narrows and Sinclair Inlet.

The public is advised to avoid contact with marine water in those
areas until Tuesday, Jan. 16.

According to the Kitsap County Health District, the city of
Bremerton reported a 12,485-gallon combined sewer overflow on Jan. 5
and a 153,718-gallon combined sewer overflow on Jan. 7, both attributed
to recent heavy rains.

Warning signs have been posted in public access points to the
closure area, and the Health District has an ongoing advisory against
collecting shellfish in the Port Washington Narrows and Sinclair
Inlet.
